With impactful performances using both bat and ball, Imad Wasim is a huge threat and can make long strides in this season.

KAR vs ISL 4th Match Probable Winners:

Given that both teams have made improvements in their squads to fill their voids, still Islamabad United seems to be a more composed batting and bowling unit as compared to Karachi Kings. Moreover, given the pitch conditions and nature, we predict Islamabad United to register their first win of PSL 2023 in a close contest. Islamabad United have picked a stronger squad with a balanced mix of batters, bowlers, and all-rounders. Moreover, their restricted spin attack could cause them some issues, but their top batting order does seem to dominate the game at least on paper. Considering the team combination, Islamabad United is expected to win this match.
